The Occupational Health and Safety Awareness (OHSA) and Training regulation requires health and safety awareness training for every worker and supervisors.

This training introduces workers to the OSHA. It focuses on the health and safety rights and responsibilities of workers, supervisors and employers. It also serves as a general introduction to workplace health and safety.

Workers can use this free training program as one way to meet the minimum training required by the Occupational Health and Safety Awareness and Training regulation.

Everyone in the workplace, from the employer to the newest worker, has different but important duties to keep the workplace safe. Because employers have the most authority in the workplace, they have the greatest responsibility but it’s important for your own safety that you understand everyone’s health and safety duties, including yours.

Preventing injuries and illnesses at work - starts here, with the things you learn in this workbook, but it doesn’t end here. One of your employer’s duties under the OHSA is to give you specific information and instructions about how to stay safe on your job. What you learn from this program will help you start to understand those instructions. We hope you will use what you learn here every day of your working life.

Fire Drills / Evacuation Procedures

Fire drills is often required for ensuring the safety of the Staffs, Residents and Clientele that enter your business, building or property.

Practicing scheduled fire drills will help ensure individuals have the knowledge to safety escape a fire without injuring themselves or others. Fire drills are conducted by the person that is responsible for the building. It is also required that fire drills are held at intervals no greater than every 12 months (once a year), with the following exceptions.

Pre-Fire Drill Procedures

To be conducted by supervisory staff or maintenance personnel.

1.Contact the fire alarm monitoring company and advise them of the upcoming fire drill.

2.Ensure to supply the monitoring company with the estimated timeline to conduct the fire drill.

3.Record the time from the activation of the fire alarm to the evacuation of all staff, students and clientele.

During the Fire Drill

Supervisory staff are to monitor the evacuation process and note any of the following:

Are individuals closing the doors upon exiting rooms?

Are individuals remaining calm and proceeding towards the nearest exit?

Are individuals assembling at the designated muster point?

Are fire wardens (if applicable) ensuring the safe evacuation of all individuals?

Are all individuals being accounted for (if applicable)?

Are exits guarded to prevent re-entry into the building?

Fire Safety Plan

The National Fire Agency have made it mandatory to have a Fire Safety Plan in all Building/Industry. The implementation of a Fire Safety Plan helps to ensure effective utilization of life safety features in a building to protect people from fire. The required Fire Safety Plan should be designed to suite the resources of each individual building or complex of buildings.

It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that the information contained within the Fire Safety Plan is accurate and complete.

AUDITS

FIRE AND SAFETY AUDITS

Fire Audit is one of the essential requirement, required to determine a long lasting and smooth functionality of your Fire fighting System and its components. A deep study of your risk area and the design under which the system is installed is taken into consideration for conducting a fire audit.

A Fire Audit ensures that the fire fighting system will function systematically in case of fire and it is very much essential fire system installed is very old. Also before going for a AMC its better to do a Fire Audit to know the health of your Fire Fighting System.

For a Fire Audit a Fire Professional will visit your premises and undertake a fire safety audit. The audit is an examination of the premises and relevant documents to ascertain how the premises are being managed regarding fire safety. The in-charge officer may also wish to talk to members of staff to confirm their level of fire safety alertness.

The emphasis is on the responsible person demonstrating they have met the duties required by the fire safety order. For this reason we may ask to see the following documents as evidence.

Preventative and protective measures regarding fire

Emergency plans for the premises (what to do in the event of a fire)

Action plans related to any significant findings of the fire risk assessment

Fire Alarm & Detection Systems are early warning system meant for Industrial & Residential complexes. The Fire Alarm System does not actively fight the fire, but its main function is to give an early warning, that a fire has taken place in that particular area by which the people in proximity to that area have an early warning to evacuate the building. However the fire will continue to burn, unless if an active system like Fire Hydrant System orFire Sprinkler Systemis activated to fight the fire.

The main function of the Fire Alarm System is to, alert the responsible authorities. Here the authorities may be the local Fire Department.

The Fire Alarm System Consists of

a) Main Fire Alarm Control Panel.

b) Smoke and Heat Detectors.

c) Manual Call Point.

d) Sounders or Hooters.

1)Addressable Fire Alarm System
2) Non- Addressable Fire Alarm System

Basically there are two types of Fire Alarm Systems, based on the detection of location of fire:

Addressable Fire Alarm System :

Addressable Fire Alarm Systems are also called a Smart Fire Alarm System because along with detection of fire they provide the location of the fire. As and when the fire spreads the FAS, alert accordingly. In addition they may provide an array of other specific services. Up to 250 devices may be connected, to the main control panel of the Fire Alarm System. Fire Alarm Companies in India, have made great strides to make the system more effective and user friendly.

Non-Addressable (Conventional) Fire Alarm System :

Conventional Fire alarms systems are primarily used in small offices where the risk area is less. It is primarily used for low budget installations.

Fire Fighting Hydrant System are used systems in residential and industrial projects to fight and prevent the spread of fire. A Red colour pipe of either Mild Steel or Galvanised Steel is used to circulate around the building or factory premise is known as a Fire Hydrant Pipe. In event of a fire, when you see a fireman shooting water up to 100 feet or more then the fire man is using a Fire Hydrant System. Such is the power of the Fire Hydrant System that water can be shot right up to directly into the fire.

Fire Hydrant Systems forms the basis, of Fire Protection Systems, without which fighting Fire is not possible at all. It is the most conventional and useful system of fighting fire and is recognized worldwide for its reliability by fire professionals. Installation of Fire Hydrant System is relatively easy.

How does a Fire Hydrant Systems Operate :

A special water tank dedicated to Fire either underground or over the ground is constructed, where water is stored throughout the year. This water tank is connected to the pump room, from the pump room there are two to three main pipes which form a network of pipe that cover the compound or the risk area. The pump charges the pipes with water and super pressuraize it at nearly 7 to 10bar.

In occurrence of fire, water is released through the hydrant post and water is discharged to the points of direction of the fire. A very strong flow of water now, attacks the fire and the fire is eventually extinguished. The pumpcontinuously pumps the water to maintain the system pressure. Remember that Fire Hydrant System is used by fire professionals only.

Fire Hydrant System advantages:

Fire Hydrant Systems are very durable and long lasting and can be used from medium to large sized fires. It has a long range. Since the Fire Hydrant System is designed by Fire Professional engineers considering the Risk layout drawings and taking many pros and cons into consideration, a fire hydrant can attack fire from different angles. The entire systems requires low maintenance.

Fire Hydrant system is the first choice of any government fire fighting authority hence many clients and Fire consultants search only for Fire Fighting Systems Contractors.

If Fire Hydrant System is the Primary Elementary used in fighting fire then Fire Sprinkler System is the secondary part of it. Fire Hydrant is used to fight fire from outside the premises then a sprinkler system is used to prevent and fight the spread of fire from within the risk area of the Building or Factory. In short it works in parallel to Fire Hydrant Systemand your Building or Factory is not secure with Fire Safety measures if you opt out with not providing a fire sprinkler system.

A detailed study of the risk area is required to design a sprinkler system which can be carried by a Licensed Agency to design sprinkler system as per the relevant design standards such as T.A.C, NFPA, FM Global, wherein designing of sprinkler system is done as per the area and height of the Building or factory.

A lot of detailed study is required to design such system ensuring that the system will work up to its expectation in event of fire, which is why a Fire Professional Company having fire design engineers with wide years of experience and repute is required to design and execute such complex systems.

How does a Fire Sprinkler System Operate:

A “Sprinkler” is connected through a M.S or G.I pipes and routed among the interiors of the building or a factory plant which is supercharged with water at 7 to 10bar.
This Sprinkler is basically a heat sensing device which detects the heat emitted out of fire, this heat sensor is designed to burst at various temperatures depending upon the risk and when the desired temperature is achieved as a result of fire the sprinkler bursts out and water is flowed through the Sprinkler under pressure directly on to the fire affected area. All of this is automated and happens in duration of 3 minutes of fire being detected.

In this way the Fire Sprinkler System is an automated Fire Detection and Extinguishing System. It is designed to be a complete automated system which is a major advantage above all other systems. Sprinkler System for Fire Fighting is a very effective method of suppressing the spread of fire.

The foam system is a sophisticated system in Fire Fighting system, which is either a part of Fire Hydrant system or Sprinkler system. Foam Fire System is primarily used in Industrial sectors where the risk is too high such as Oil & Gas, Petrochemical industry etc.

The installation of Foam System is too complex and can only be done by Fire Fighting companies of repute. The fundamental of a Foam System to operate systematically is completely dependent on a through meticulous design, if the design is not proper then the entire system turns out to be a complete failure also, installation of such system requires project engineers with good experience capable of executing such complex systems.

How does the Fire Protection Foam System operate

Fuel, Heat and Air are the three elements form a triangle which is the basis of fire; it is also referred to as the Fire Triangle. If one of the elements is missing, the fire will not exist. Fire Protection Foam System, isolates the Air, from the fire or fuel which basically chokes the fire and kills it gradually as more Foam is applied to the fire.

When the Foam sprinkler detects that the fire is present, it is triggered. This causes the water to flow into the bladder tank. The foam concentrate, goes into the bladder tank via the proportioner. The proportioner regulates the desired percentage of foam to be mixed with water and the foam is formed when the foam concentrate and the water mixes in the right proportion.

The desired foam is then discharged under a required pressure as per the design standard directly on the fire, though the sprinkler. The foam covers the fuel like a blanked and isolates the Air thus breaking the Fire Triangle.

Types of Class ‘B’ Foams :

Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) : AFFF is a high quality foam, commonly used in, refineries, airports and manufacturing plants. They are available in 2, 4 and 6% that is for every 100 litres of water 2, 4 or 6 litres of foams are used in the proportioner.

High Expansion Foam: They are used in very large areas or where the height of the risk area is too high like warehouses and ships. It’s very effective, where spillage or a hydrocarbon fire might take place.

Water Spray System is a different variant of Fire Sprinkler System. Such a system is used in places where fire is likely to rapidly spread out of control, within a short duration such as Transformers, LPG bullets and Combustible fuels. It is necessary to install Water Spray System on equipments or machinery that contains inflammable liquid. This system is a mandate for you.

How Water Spray System Operates:

In an oil cooled transformer, the oil is likely to catch fire after oil is reached, and instantly the entire transformer will catch fire and burn from all sides. To avoid this, kind fire, we use Water Spray System. Here, there may be multiple metal rings of detectors, a detector is nothing but a temperature sensing element. This detector ring is placed next to the most likely sots where the temperature is about to exceed or fire is about to take place. Also the, entire transformer is surrounded by multiple sprays, at multiple levels. A spray is nothing, but a sprinkler without the temperature sensing, bulb.

When the fire does take place, the detector ring detects this and gives signal to the deluge valve and the entire sprinkler surrounding the transformer to start all at once. Hence the entire transformer is flushed with water, to cool it down.

There are two types of Water Spray System:

1) High Velocity Water Spray Systems (HVWS)

2) Medium Velocity Water Spray Systems (MVWS)

High Velocity Water Spray Systems (HVWS):

HVWS, is generally used in oil based systems, having high flash points. The velocity of the water sprays, hitting the system under fire is critical for successful fire extinguishing action.

Medium Velocity Water Spray Systems (MVWS):

MVWS, is generally used in oil based systems, having low flash points. The velocity of the water sprays, hitting the system under fire, if it is high, might actually spread the fire, and not extinguish it. Hence, the velocity of the water has to be in range.

We often see Fire Fighting Hydrant System commonly used in Residential and Industrial complexes. A “Red” colour pipe, circulating around a building or factory premise is a Fire Hydrant Pipe. When fighting fire, when a fireman is shooting water up to 30 meter high or more is evident that the fire man is using a Fire Hydrant System for which a high capacity Fire hydrant Pump is required to shoot water right up directly into the fire.

Is it always necessary to provide Fire Protection with Fire Hydrant Systems?

Fire Hydrant Systems forms the basis, of Fire Protection Systems, without Fire Hydrant System a Fire Protection System cannot be called a Fire Protection System. It will be a superficial system. (With respect to large areas, in general). Fire Hydrant System installation is relatively easy.

How do Fire Hydrant Systems Function?

A special well is dug, called “Fire Well”, where water is stored throughout the year for 365days. This water well is connected to the pump room. From the pump room, there are two to three main pipes. These pipes form a network of pipe that cover the factory compound and the factory. The pump has the work, to continuously filling all the pipes connected with water under pressure. The pressure is nearly 7bar to 10bar.

When a fire is seen by a person, he activates the hydrant system and points it in the direction of the fire. A very strong flow of water now, attacks the fire and the fire is eventually extinguished. The pump continuously pumps the water to maintain the system pressure.

A Gas Suppression System is used in high critical areas like server rooms or operation theatre, Data Centres, Air traffic control rooms etc. where the cost of equipment is too high or of critical importance. To protect such system if water of any other chemical is used then it will destroy the entire room, a gas suppression system (Chemical or Inert, Co2) is clean and a very effective way of Extinguishing Fire.

Function of a Gas Suppression System :

Gas Suppression System is designed generally in concealed rooms. The principle of Gas Suppression System is to break the Fire Triangle, creasing the fire to exist. In the room, protected by Gas Suppression System, various detectors are designed to be placed at various locations. These detectors constantly monitors the room any occurrence of fire. As soon as fire is detected, an alarm is sounded so that any personnel in the room cane evacuate, after which the Fire Extinguishing Agent which is a gas like Novec 1230 or Co2 which is stored in a high pressurised seamless cylinder is released in the enclosed room, by which oxygen in the room is rapidly reduced, to a level where fire cannot exist. Because of such a system, all the delicate or critical items remain untouched and unharmed by fire or water.
